Load Avarage graph pattern

[Oren Shani]

Can anyone tell me why the load avarge graph shows definite patterns of
exponential decay?

It seems that most (by far most) of the points of the LA graph are on lines
of the form c*exp(-a*(t-t0))+b, in which 'a' is some cosmic constant (I sampled
LA in severl computers, for several time periods, and got the same 'a' 
every time). Is this due to some policy of the system's time shearing mechanism,
or did I discover a new cosmic law?

O.S.
